Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until it forms a rough dough.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and transfer it back to a floured surface. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 8

Fold the other half of the dough over the cheese filling and press the edges together to seal.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the stuffed dough to the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to make 4-6 shallow slashes on the surface to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 10

Brush the top of the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and chopped parsley.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 12

Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Serve warm for the best gooey cheese pull.
